Wed, 02 Jun 2010 14:05:14 +0000http://localhost/wp/nbchbt/?p=6441#comment-52765Any redesign that keeps the older content from getting buried is a very good thing. The ATH feature, my favorite, now only gets a few comments compared to the old Shysterball days, so bring on the redesign.
But don’t call it Long John and the Silver Beatles. Please.

Posnanski is going to be doing video?!! Fantastic! Finally HBT is adding a real writer with some skills!
I kid I kid. You guys are great. Can’t wait to see the redesign.

Wed, 02 Jun 2010 12:58:21 +0000http://localhost/wp/nbchbt/?p=6441#comment-52760As a fellow midwesterner (reppin’ tha 651), it’s great to read national baseball coverage without having to hear about the Yankees and Red Sox constantly. Even the posts about teams I don’t really care about are informative and entertaining. Thanks to all of the bloggers that make this possible, keep up the good work.

I don’t comment that often, but I really enjoy this blog. I check it daily and read most everything that is posted. Your writing style is a pleasure to read; I think your law education has helped you greatly in writing thoughtful and persuasive articles. Keep up the good work! I also enjoy sorting through all the different comments from your regular readership. This is a great site.

Wed, 02 Jun 2010 12:32:58 +0000http://localhost/wp/nbchbt/?p=6441#comment-52758Right backatcha Craig.
And in all honesty from one Midwesterner to another this is the BEST Baseblog on the web right now and it’s not even close (sorry Neyer and the Rest).
What seems to pass for writing about baseball now is simply Copy and Pasting someone else’s article while adding some witty repertoire like “Yeah, What he said!”.
Got pointed to this site by a jump from Bernie Miklasz about your comments about The Most Famous Hitting Coach EVER, the quote:
“The answer is that none of the people who have attacked McGwire for not fully coming clean really care about the information. They only want to traffic in outrage. It’s so much easier and so much more satisfying.” So right on.
And ever since then I have been amazed by your constant original, thoughtful insight and awesome sense of humor.
The comments about Swing Dancing and Poker the other day almost made me spit my coffee out.
Anyway, keep it up Craig!
Suggestion…
How about Interactive Box scores to accompany “And That Happened” so we can have one stop shopping for the Morning Scores with insight & jokes?
You know like one of those ye olde time paper thingies that used to fold out all weird and stuff…but with 21st Century snarkiness.

Sorry, gotta run, Tiger and I are going out trolling for babes.

Wed, 02 Jun 2010 10:06:00 +0000http://localhost/wp/nbchbt/?p=6441#comment-52750Hi CC – would you guys consider making the comments section more user friendly? In the Shyster days of yore, I loved getting notified of follow-up comments and not having to type in indecipherable anti-spam letters every time!
(Unless there’s a way to do that here already and my low tech mind is just slow…)
BTW amazing job every day – thank you
